Natalie, Jan 2020
Pros (+) Location to the beach was the best part.
Cons (-) Mismatched furniture, motel 6 vibe with 4 star prices, moldy smell in room that permeates your clothes and suitcases, carpet felt wet and dirty, TVs that are either laughably small and or do work properly, property description does not match real life; we felt like we got a bait and switch. Had to change rooms because of overwhelming mold smell, second room smelled better but was in the same dingy...

Cons (-) The kayaks were a bit worn out and they didn’t have enough paddles. It was still fun and they were at no additional cost which was fantastic!

Pros (+) location, pool and amenities
Cons (-) Broken A/C Unit that did not cool the room and was too loud to sleep. I took my Dad for his 60th birthday and both he and my mother could barely sleep :(

Pros (+) We like all about, location, room, amenities ...
Cons (-) If you are not a independent person, this hotel it's not for you... it's no one around the hotel to ask, like others hotels were basically you need to say "hello" to everyone were you move around the propriety, it's more the feeling of renting an apartment. But this don't bother me it all, to me.

Pros (+) Found great shells on the beach right out front. Awesome pool. Free bikes and kayaks. They set up chairs and umbrellas every morning. Love the beds and having a large fridge and oven in room. Very nice staff. Nice spot on the island.

Pros (+) The chairs and umbrellas on the beach where great! Always out on time! The use of their bikes was great, we used then every day! The beach was beautiful and very clean!
Cons (-) Was disappointed in the cleanliness of the room. Upon arrival our door trim was broken, dust stuck to trim and hair from another guest. Food stuck on "clean" silverware in drawer. Walls need to be painted, dirty walls, chipped paint, mildew on curtains and a musty smell. The bikes needed some matinees, oil the squeaky parts and fix the broken baskets. Only one bike with a basket and it was broken....
